Clearly I love Picasso and thought it would be fun to try painting in his style, or one of his many painting explorations that with time were described as a style. I love his use of lines and his portraits of women. Hence this piece that I drew over an abstract painting on paper. This one is small but I'd love to do another version 3 or 4 times the size on canvas rather than paper!

Very nice paint Marie. My elder brother too does painting but he has neither taken training from anybody nor gone to any university for learning. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1186539088092458&set=pb.100002091346218.-2207520000.1481199753.&type=3&theater

Painting is my passion. I’m wild about the act of painting and the subject of the female figure.

My path to this perfect artistic place was through folk art born of memories of my New England childhood. This art I sold to the White House, Panasonic, Toyota, Bigelow Tea, the Mayor of Boston and to clients of galleries in New York, Boston, Nantucket, Charleston, San Francisco and Los Angeles. My art was featured twice on the Today Show and in two national magazines.

Now I paint about strong women. In Greek mythology, women were as powerful as men. They were gods. I like to think, and my collectors seem to, that my painted women are their descendants.
